ABBA Couplings

Agnetha and Bjorn appeared together at the October 2010 Danish premiere of Mamma Mia in Copenhagen. The is the first time, Agnetha and Bjorn have appeared hand-in hand as a couple in public since ABBA. This is the fourth in a series of unprecedented ABBA member couple reunions. Since ABBA's breakup Bjorn and Benny would often appear together, occasionally Bjorn would appear with Frida, and a few times three of the members got together. Normally the partial reunions would occur at premieres of Bjorn and Benny's musicals or for TV promotion and interviews. The most notable public occasion was ,when all four members of ABBA showed up in July 2008 for the Mamma Mia movie premiere in Stockholm. At the movie premiere , made a point of not having all members stand together, instead they were interspersed amongst the stars of the movie.

Not too long ago the group decided to not appear together in combinations of three members-since that would make it look, like one of the former ABBA members was purposely avoiding a reunion. A benefit of this policy is that in the past two years we have had some unusual pairings of ABBA members.

Here are our short reviews of all nine of ABBA's deluxe editions, in order of release.

All
of these "sound and vision" sets tend to be more interesting for the
DVD then the audio discs, but they also do probably represent the best
presentation of each of these albums, as a whole.

There
remains considerable debate as to which of the numerous issuance's of
ABBA's studio albums have the best sound quality. Some people even think
the vinyl sounds better. But the deluxe editions clearly have the most complete content. ABBA's last three studio albums have the most interesting selection of audio
bonus tracks, since there were more B-sides and such to include on the
later albums. Only The Visitors has a totally new audio track, but here and there are a couple of rarities.

A solo piano album from Benny Andersson was released in September 2017 with 21 songs on the album-aeleased internationally by Deutsche Grammophone. . ABBA the Album was released as a 2Lp half speed mastered vinyl edition, and the singles from that album were released as a vinyl box set.
